Abstract:
Recent technological advances have made next-generation sequencing (NGS) a popular and financially accessible technique allowing a broad range of analyses to be done simultaneously. A huge amount of newly generated NGS data, however, require advanced software support to help both in analyzing the data and biologically interpreting the results. In this article, we describe SATrans (Software for Annotation of Transcriptome), a software package providing fast and robust functional annotation of novel sequences obtained from transcriptome sequencing. Moreover, it performs advanced gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes, thereby helping to interpret biologically-and in a user-friendly form-the quantitative changes in gene expression. The software is freely available and provides the possibility to work with thousands of sequences using a standard personal computer or notebook running on the Linux operating system.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
